90 Years of Atlantic Hospitality
BY Ilona Kauremszky
Your Atlantic Adventure Starts Here
From riverbanks to rugged coastlines, from starlit skies to sun-kissed dunes, Rodd Hotels & Resorts is your gateway to Atlantic Canada’s most unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re chasing the tides, gazing at the stars, or savouring local flavours, every stay is wrapped in 90 years of tradition, comfort, and heartfelt hospitality.
Picture salt-tinged breezes, sun-drenched shores, and the kind of wide-open landscapes that make you want to throw your arms out and spin in circles. Atlantic Canada is a siren call for those who crave the great outdoors, and when the day’s adventures wrap up, there’s no better place to rest than at one of the seven Rodd Hotels & Resorts.
This year marks the brand’s 90th anniversary, and the celebration means more than just nostalgia—it means exclusive daily perks for guests, from discounted stays to curated local experiences. At Rodd, hospitality is more than a warm welcome—it’s a legacy.
Rivers, Tides and Starry Skies
For those who believe adventure begins at the water’s edge, Rodd Miramichi is an angler’s dream. Here, world-class salmon and striped bass fishing meet the soothing hush of the Miramichi River. Nearby, Kouchibouguac National Park unfolds in a mosaic of golden dunes, pristine beaches, and wildlife galore. Cap off the day with a sunset so fiery, it looks like the horizon has caught flame.
In Moncton, guests at Rodd Moncton can witness the raw power of the Bay of Fundy’s tidal bore as 100 billion tons of seawater surges upriver. It’s a front-row seat to nature’s unrelenting rhythm. A short drive away, Fundy National Park offers the thrill of kayaking on the rising tides or the rare magic of walking the ocean floor at Hopewell Rocks.
For a celestial experience, Rodd Grand Yarmouth in Nova Scotia sits at the gateway to North America’s first Starlight Reserve. By day, explore Yarmouth’s colourful fishing town. By night, look up—some of the darkest skies on the continent unveil the Milky Way in breathtaking detail.
Red Cliffs, Rolling Greens and Coastal Dreams
Prince Edward Island is a study in contrast—its rugged red cliffs, soft white dunes, and nearly 90 beaches make for an ever-changing shoreline. The famous singing sands of Bothwell Beach, the towering dunes of Cavendish, and the wind-sculpted crests of Greenwich Beach are just a few highlights.
Golfers and beach lovers alike will find paradise at Rodd Brudenell River Resort and Rodd Crowbush Golf & Beach Resort. Here, world-class fairways meet ocean breezes, and the island’s best seafood is served up with sunset views that redefine golden hour.
In downtown Charlottetown, Rodd Charlottetown stands as an elegant landmark, its history dating back to 1931. After a day spent browsing artisan shops, sipping craft brews, and catching a show at the Confederation Centre of the Arts, retreat to this grand hotel where classic charm meets modern comfort. For families, Rodd Royalty turns up the fun with a glass-enclosed swimming pool and a 32-metre waterslide that promises endless giggles (www.roddvacations.com).
